I think in my case if I had a drive with a spindle
motor problem I
would see it through. YMMV
Well, on thinking further I might just do that. I'm a little worried about
the micro-surgery but what have I got to lose?
I do have two drives and if a hall-effect device has gone in both there
still should be enough good ones to go around for just one drive, right?
I'm guessing they can be removed.
Is there any obvious way to tell wether an individual one is faulty once
they are exposed?

It is, unfortunately, very hard to diagnose
faults remotely,
particularly
on a device that I have never seen...
No worries, it was worth a shot and I appreciate your help. I've
actually
learnt quite a bit so that is no bad thing.
I think I'll consign this to the "might look at again some time in the
future" pile. I'm sure everybody has such piles in their workshop.
Mine
seems to keeps growing (-:
Well, I certainly do, and it does, indeed, keep growing. There's a lot of
intereting stuff I must get round to working on one day.
I tend to only put stuff there if I know it's going to takr a _lot_ of
time to sort out (months/years) or if I know I need
parts/manuals/knowledge that I can't get at the moment but might get
later. I think in my case if I had a drive with a spindle motor problem I
would see it through. YMMV
